Leicester Tigers

My nipper just sent me the full strength Leinster side. Salary cap? Level playing field? It's a sick joke! Well there isn't one in the URC. Leinster's salary spend is allegedly around the 10m Euros mark. More in line with the French clubs. It was around that in 2018-2020. It’ll be a bit more by now...

We need an 8/6. Why would we let Koroiyadi go?! Especially after we let Chester Owen go from the academy and he looked the more promising ball carrier. We have Carnduff/Manz @6. We have Beets @8. I don't see where Koroiyadi fits anymore. With Wiese off, Cracknell and Rogerson not really fulfilling ...

Bristol. I heard and unsubstantiated rumour that Bristol are after Sam Edwards as well. I've heard Edwards to Bristol as well. Cusick and Koroyoidi possibly to Ealing. We need an 8/6. Why would we let Koroiyadi go?! Especially after we let Chester Owen go from the academy and he looked the more pro...

Any idea why or where he’s off to?

I reckon Archie van der Flier could cover lock in a pinch. 6'4 and 120kg, obviously normally a loosehead...

Iosefo Masi from Fijian Drua has had a cracking couple of games recently. Could be shrewd signing if we got him before a French club signs him, if one hasn’t already.

What's the situation with Bassett? I can't recall seeing his name in any match squad for a while.

Gallo extends his stay with Benetton until 2027

Rumoured that Sharks (of the South African variety) are wanting to buy Esterhuizen out of his Quins contract, to the tune of £500,000.
Matt Gallagher is also apparently off to Benetton from Bath.

Great to see Congratulations all Has anyone looked at legacy planning for the next few years and where these boys could potentially fit in ? Martin moving to lock full time. Carnduff becoming a 6/8. Josh Manz playing 6 or 7 as well. Ilione at 7 and Koroiyadi at 8/6. Reckon we could lose one of Mart...

There was no intentional stamp. Don't be daft.

Offer came in Sunday, I've heard from the rumour mill, and he made the decision today/yesterday. He's much more focused on his image than I think some on here realise. He's after the sponsorships and deals he can leverage off of this - that and he won't have to tackle anyone anymore.

If Porter does go, I really wouldn't mind us trying to get Sam Spink from the Rebels. Previously at Wasps, he's a good looking prospect at 12 or 13 (he's primarily played 13). He's big, quick and loves a carry. Would be a more lateral signing as he's not a big flashy international, but I reckon he'd...

Scott leaving would we assume be to allow the Fijian international captain that's been (tenuously) linked with us to come in. Heard a whisper on the grapevine that we are looking to sign a 13 for next season. Personally think that can be filled by letting Phil C leave and using the uplift in salary...

Saw this but it was from The Ruck so unsure of its validity

Toulon have officially denied on twitter/x of ever speaking to him.
